Best Answer

By the time of the Great Depression, every major economic nation had gone off the gold standard. The US abandoned the gold standard in 1933 and confiscated gold coins. People had been hording gold so by confiscating the coins, the government was trying to make the public use banks and paper currency and not depend on gold.
